They thought that man could conquer heaven, but in the end they could only win the empty tombs in the spring mountains.
Shen Changyan wants to "rebuild the map of the world", Lu Qingwu wants to "let women become historians", Huo Hongying wants to "be the first female general of ordnance", Xie Yan wants to "pick the salt and iron out of the mouths of aristocratic families", Jiang Wuyou wants to "let commercial taxes replace agricultural taxes", A Zhou wants to polish ink, memorize maps and keep vigil for Shen Changyan.
The ending was that everyone failed and died halfway through their respective ideals, leaving only seven new graves with no words on the tablets.
Intention: They think that man can conquer heaven, but in the end they can only win the empty tombs in spring mountains.
